I am new to gas engine. I just bought an old gas engine. It is a Echo Gt 1000 which is 16cc. I am planning to install electronics ignition from Hobbycity.

The main concern I have before I spend any money on it is the compression. I am able to turn over the engine with its 5/16 drive shaft with out a lot off effort. With my small glow engines, it is almost impossible to turn over the engine with rotating the shaft alone.

I think the engine is worn out. Can I still buy piston and rings for this engine?

Thanks.
